More families with patients at The Whitehall Health Care Center of Novi have called 7 Action News after we broke the story of alleged patient beatings at the facility.
Kelly Barton is the step-daughter of Ronald Johns. She showed us pictures of Ronald and says he was abused and mistreated for three years at Whitehall. But he could not speak because he had two strokes.
She says they finally moved him out in December and were blocked by Whitehall because she alleges they would tell other facilities Ronald was a patient who caused trouble. The pictures show injuries on Ronald's legs, arms, head and backside.
Ronald is the brother of Tommy Johns, who was allegedly beaten and taken to a hospital for treatment this week.
Novi Police confirm they have an active investigation.
Barton says the Michigan Attorney General was investigating Ronald's case and talked about putting a hidden camera in his room last year, but then stopped.
